I’m guessing this one is pretty far into independent film territory considering I’ve never heard of any of the actors involved, but I’m a sucker quirky time-related dramas. LOOP_152 seems to borrow liberally from the plot of Groundhog Day, but instead of Bill Murray casually repeating the events of a full day, a young university student keeps repeating the same 2 hours over and over again as she frantically tries to figure out her situation.
Atsumi Nogami plays a girl named Kana who’s working through the night to finish a report due the next day. Suddenly there’s an earthquake followed by a strange flash of light and she notices time has somehow jumped backward from 4:01am to 1:52am. She discovers that she’s trapped in a time loop that keeps repeating itself. Can she find a way to escape this anomaly?
LOOP_0152 will be get two late show screenings at Theater Tsutaya on Saturday, September 19th and Sunday, September 20th with Nogami and director Takayuki Hatamura in attendance. See this link for details (Japanese).
